Adson Needle Holder

Description

Adson Needle Holder

The Adson needle holder is a slim 18 cm pattern in plain stainless steel. It works well for neurosurgical closure and general soft-tissue suturing.

Slim profile

Narrow jaws keep the needle visible at all times. So you can place small, even stitches. Also, the Adson needle holder suits children and small wounds.

Moderate reach

At 18 cm, the holder reaches beneath the skin without feeling long. Also, the balance sits near the rings for fine control. Plus, the rings suit a light fingertip hold.

Simple build

The holder uses stainless steel from tip to rings. Therefore it stays easy to clean and service. So a single Adson needle holder can serve several trays.

Where it fits

Neurosurgery sets often include an Adson needle holder alongside Adson forceps. Then the pair covers scalp and dural closure. Plus, it works as a general holder on minor-surgery trays. Meanwhile, the plain steel finish keeps the cost low. So practices can stock several for busy clinic days.

Reprocessing Adson needle holder

Rinse the holder under running water directly after the procedure. Next, wash the serrations using mild detergent and a nylon brush. Then dry it fully and apply lubricant to the hinge.
